How HPL logfile messages are ordered

The HPL log-file messages appear in this section in alphabetical
order, sorted with the following additional rules:

The time stamp that precedes each message is ignored.

Letter case in alphabetization is ignored.

File, record, database server, and table names are ignored.

Error numbers are ignored.

Spaces are ignored.

Quotation marks are ignored.

The word the is ignored if it is the first word in the
message.

A cause and suggested corrective action for a message
or group of messages follows the message text.

A section that
lists pop-up messages (or messages that are returned to standard error)
appears after the log-file message sections. Messages in this section
are arranged according to the same rules that apply to log-file messages.
